The guiding principle of
referencing is that you are trying to be helpful to readers who want to follow
up what you are saying.

Sociologist of science Taylor (1992) claims that dogs are carnivores. In defense
of this position he cites the definition of Haraway (1989), a biologist who
defines a dog as "a mammal of the order Carnivora" (p.
25) This taxonomic approach builds on several other works (Taylor, 1988; Taylor
& Blum, 1991) and can be seen in mature form in Taylor, Halfon, &
Edwards (1997).
